When hunting some of the best restaurants in New Orleans, high-end experiences are on every street corner, from decades-old institutions such as Brennan’s to relative newcomers like Restaurant August and brand new classics such as Shaya. You won’t be short on advice about where to eat, but for what it’s worth, this is our shortlist to give you a flavor.
